Autodesk & Educational Licenses

Autodesk software is used for 3D design in architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and media/entertainment.

Free access to their professional software (AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, Maya, etc.) is available to Tarleton students, faculty, and staff for educational purposes.

• Students: Enrolled students can obtain free one-year licenses (renewable annually) for learning, research, and academic projects.
• Faculty: Free licenses available for teaching, research, and professional development.
• Staff: Eligible if using software for teaching, training, or research. Staff performing administrative, non-academic projects, or operational tasks (e.g., facilities planning) require commercial licenses.
  • For a commercial license, contact your department to purchase through authorized resellers: autodesk.com/partners/locate-a-reseller.
